Courtesty of Sure Fit

1. New York City - Between winding trails, off-leash hours and fenced-in dog parks, NYC's Central Park is the perfect pet hang-out. Plus, pet daycare can be found in nearly every Big Apple neighborhood.
2. Chicago - Dogs are welcome on canine cruises at Chicago's Navy Pier, and the Windy City is home to a number of pet resorts and patio restaurants that welcome furry friends.
3. Boston - Pooches are welcome to tour Boston Harbor by boat, and dogs are welcome to take the subway.

5. San Francisco - The city by the bay offers plenty of pet-friendly dining, off-leash beaches, and outdoor areas. Take your dog for a stroll across the Golden Gate Bridge -- or even bring him along on a cable-car ride!
